The study was designed to answer
the following questions:
o
Why are
doctoral students pursuing the Ph.D.?
o
How effective
are doctoral programs at preparing students for the wide range of careers they pursue,
both in and out of the academy?
o
How
effective are doctoral programs at preparing students to be faculty members?
o
Do
students understand what doctoral study entails before they enroll and once
they begin their studies?
o
Do students
understand what is expected of them during their programs and how to
adequately meet those expectations?
o
Are the
day-to-day processes of doctoral programs sufficiently clear so that students
can concentrate on developing knowledge and skills?
Findings
o
The
training doctoral students receive is not what they want, nor does it prepare them
for the jobs they take.
o
Many
students do not clearly understand what doctoral study entails, how the process
works and how to navigate it effectively.

Cognitive Science
A program that focuses on the study of the
mind and the nature of intelligence from the interdisciplinary perspectives of
computer science, philosophy, mathematics, psychology, neuroscience, and other
disciplines.

Sarah,
I think what you've done here is very valuable, you've made a wide net with all of your possibilities. Now, you have to start narrowing down your options with your concerns in mind. I, too, didn't really want to go to graduate school in a large metropolitan city. As far as money, you should definitely look into stipends. Some programs offer teaching/research assistantships (TA/RA), while other schools offer an out-of-state tuition waiver.
As far as choosing a program is concerned, I would stick to a discipline-specific program rather than an interdisciplinary program. As I said, after reading your Socrates essay, I think you would do well in a philosophy program.
